Details
Description
From Chants it goes on well-developed hiking trails through different vegetation levels to the Kesch Hut (SAC) on the edge of the glacier. With good visibility, the summit is already recognizable from here. The next morning it goes over the glacier to the summit, depending on the snow conditions, the application of the crampons is already recommended here. The last 200 meters of altitude then run pathless over rock (and possibly snow fields) to the summit, from where you are a breathtaking view. The Bianco ridge points directly to the Piz Kesch and offers a beautiful photo opportunity. Descent as well as ascent.
